Macro-Structure
Vincenzo Calabrese
I am an enthusiastic soft matter scientist currently working at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in the Micro/Bio/Nanofluidics Unit with Dr. Simon J. Haward and Prof. Amy Shen.
​
My primary interest is the rheological and structural properties of polymer solutions and colloidal dispersions at different length and time scales. I use a combination of experimental techniques (e.g., rheology, microfluidics, and scattering) and theoretical approaches to answer open questions in the field of Soft Matter.
Nano-Structure
Short Biography
After completion of my MSc in Food Technology at Wageningen University (NL), I moved to the University of Bath (UK) to pursue my PhD in Chemistry. The project led by Prof. Karen Edler and Prof. Janet Scott focused on the characterisation of the structural-property relationship of colloidal cellulose nanofibrils in bulk and across liquid-liquid interfaces. I joined the Micro/Bio/Nanofluidics unit as a postdoc in January 2020 to link rheological behaviour and structural properties of complex fluids in microfluidics.
